Loving a Life of Biblical Womanhood
When God said, ” It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him,” (Genesis 2:18) there are two Hebrew words that could have been used for “not good.” One is ‘ên tôb, which means that something is lacking. As in, this coffee is lacking cinnamon, or these mashed potatoes are lacking salt. The other is lõ’tôb, which means positively bad. As in, it is positively bad that man is alone, so I will make for him a helper.
If I were the last man on the planet to think so, I would want the honor of saying no woman should go before me into combat to defend my country. A man who endorses women in combat is not pro-woman; he’s a wimp. He should be ashamed. For most of history, in most cultures, he would have been utterly scorned as a coward to promote such an idea. Part of the meaning of manhood as God created us is the sense of responsibility for the safety and welfare of our women.

A friend’s blog post from this week inspired me to write this today. She blogged about taking over their family’s finances and looking forward to the coming year and seeing what she can do about emergency funds and vacation funds and such.
So, I’m going to play around with how I do things in my home, shift things around, bring homeschool down to three days a week, and see what I can do so that everything still gets done and I can still write as much as I need to and still give this blog all of the focus it needs.
Here’s the menu plan for my family for the week starting Monday, Pearl Harbor Day, 07 Dec 2009.
Pin ItThere are people who clean their whole house every day, so that if company was coming, there would be little they would have to do to prepare. I’m not like that.
Here’s the menu plan for the week of Monday, 30 November 2009 for my family. As far as desserts go, we’re keeping it light this week. I need to do a couple batches of red velvet cookie recipes to send to Gregg for his birthday. Beyond that, I may do a pudding or custard.
Pin ItToday is for love and friendship and family and good food and realizing everything for which we have to be Thankful. It is also about thanking the right Person.
